an all star cast:

jeff bridges

matt damon

josh brolin

barry pepper

and new arrival on the hollywood scene hailee steinfeld

make this movie, interesting, funny, and a film to go see this summer.

recommended for people older then 14.

i enjoyed this trip out of my suburban life to realise what it was like back in the days when people killed each other left right and centre. and when hangings were publicly displayed for all to see...even young girls and boys.

i thoroughly enjoyed this movie even if some of the dialect was too coarse to hear or decipher!

jeff bridges does esspecially well with his western american accent considering he just filmed tron: legacy not half a year ago.

barry pepper makes an amazing outlaw western cowboy. a role which puts him in a new light for me. even though it is a smaller role. he brings it home. i wish to see him in more of these character portrayel's. for soem reason he suits the clothes, and sports the look to a tee.

tomorrow when the war began

the adapted film from the first installment of john marsden classic story of teenagers trapped in a war they cannot escape.

ellie and corrie, two best friends from a small town called wirrawee are keen for an adventure in the outback, their natural environment, their home.

they invite 5 friends to camp out under the stars with them, Lee, Kevin, Homer, Fi, and Robyn...alogn the way they also pick up chris...however they loose kevin and corrie, as corrie is shot at then end of the movie and kevin takes her to a hospital. lee also gets shot in the calf, but recovers eventually.

they blow up a bridge with a petrol transport truck, which impedes the invading army from sendign troops from cobblers bay to the nearby area's, a big blow against their army's effieciency and resupplying capabilities.

overall they picked pretty good actors to portray each character in the movie. so two thumbs up for tht effort...

the movie is quirky and dramatic, action packed and a well made australian movie

Tomorrow when the war began rated: 3.5/5
